I like what your doing Ecgric but some times your a little off one one part of your evaluations, bud. To Quote (I assume Ann) “Well Actually...“ Co6's chain end reward list is full of great items. Now that they are B2A vs B2C it adds a lot of value. And some are even killer into the late game. Skin of the Mockery +2 Handwraps: Cold Iron Studded, Human Bane level 0 wraps. There are lots of bad humans in ddo. That and bypassing DR/Cold Iron is also handy. Crono any one? Shamanic Staff - +2 Quarterstaff: True Chaos, Lesser Glaciation III, Lesser Combustion III (ML: 4) While I am no Sorc, but I am a wizard and my low level offensive spells fall in to fire/ice. Boosting them and giving me a so so melee weapon at level 4. Why not. Phantasmic Masque - Helm: Greater Nullification V, Constitution -1 (ML: 7) Lower level PM. Snowstar - +2 Shuriken: Icy Burst, Returning (ML: 4) fair range weapon for a level 4 monk if they want one. Or so so for a few drow. Quilted Cape - Cloak: Sonic Resistance, Move silently +7, Resistance +2 (ML: 7) I use this guy from time to time when I am not using a Mantle. Scavenged Warplate - +5 Half plate (Armor Bonus 12): Adamantine (ML: 4) low level heavy armor build. What else gives 12 AC and some DR at level 4? And a few items that get used even into the late game other than the great Mummified Bat (which is amazing for its graphic alone, add in what it does where more amazing). Here are 2 more i have kept from my very first live and along while i TR. Bubble Belt - Belt: Underwater Action, Swim +10, Water Breathing (3/rest) (ML: 7) This is often my Underwater Action/Swim item and being able to aid others that might have forgot their item, killer. and Hobnail Boots - Boots: Balance +15 (ML: 7) Sure you can use other big balance boots. But these don't take perm damage and can save you at level from a death on your ass. I know my deaths at low level mostly happen do too a getting knocked down or held. Wearing these boots are like an auto stand up item. |

The Mummified Bat used to be a "must get" for me. Nowadays, I tend to get my featherfall elsewhere (DT armor in particular is a great spot for it I find), and use my trinket slot for something else (especially with a craftable trinket coming with Update 9 crafting!) Still, great item. The Snowstar is nice for a returner, even if it is a shuriken. I just love Co6. |

Thanks for the added items, Samius. I have only completed Co6 once. Since I'm a casual player, I have to some times rely on research from various locations. The mummified bat was the only one I actually turned up. I'll have to put an addendum in my next segment. |

Great show as usual guy and gal and assassin. Sig, I'm really looking forward to a more detailed build of a paladin hate tank designed for after update 9. I've got a soft spot for paladins and I've tried a number of builds, forum classics and some of my own, but I've always felt like something wasn't quite right and have never leveled one to 20. If you get it done soon I could even playtest some before the next taping. ![]() Thanks again for the show, Thad |

Great show, listened to it live...then again recently to the recording. Some of those builds you were describing at the end of the show sound pretty fun. I've been wondering if a Zen Archery AA Monk is viable compared to a Pure Ranger AA. I'm pretty sure Ki Strikes don't work with ranged weapons, so big down side there. But this improvement to Mountain Stance. If I get arround to capping my current AA, I'll probably TR her into something like this. My idea for a Half-Elf Zen Archery AA Monk(just the level break down) 12 Monk - Abundant Step, Mountain Stance III, 3 extra Feats(light or dark, user preferance) 7 Fighter - Kensi I(Longbows), 4 extra Feats, Haste Boost III(for non-Manyshot Burst DPS) 1 Cleric - Spell Points for Arrows and Imbue Abilities, small self heal Ranger Dilettante - Simulated Bow Strength **(or 6 Ranger for free feats and ranger spells, of that then 2 fighter for feats) Do you guys know if, with the Zen Archery Feat, Flurry of Blows applies to Bows?...If so, that makes a Monk AA even more appealing. Oh Yeah...Can you guys verify something? I thought I had heard or read somewhere that they are lowering the ammount of Dragon Scales needed to make the Dragonscale Armor out in Gianthold from 25 down to 20, but I can't seem to find where I read/heard that. Have you guys heard anything about this? I'm planning on TRing my Wizard into a Sorc to play with the Air Savant(Arcane with Abundant Step...Drool) and I'm planning on making some Black Dragonscale Robes(Greater Evocation Focus). I've already got 20, just wondering if I should keep farming for the last 5 or not. Anyways, great show as usual... ~Nim Edited by Nim, Apr 17 2011, 12:49 PM.

Nim we might be on the same page. Look at my.ddo page http://my.ddo.com/samiusbot/ Oh side note Nim, Scale armor is becoming cheaper. Edited by Samius, Apr 17 2011, 06:31 PM.

I like how your build has melee viability, and the Ranger buffs. After playing arround with the Character Planner I chose to use Elf instead of Half-Elf to get the Ranged Attack/Damage Enhancements. My version of the build has pretty much no melee capability, but is a monster with longbows. I wasn't able to get the stats the way I wanted them as I needed too much Dex to be able to get all the Ranged Feats I wanted, so unfortunatly Bow Strenght was out of the question. ...I'll post the build on the forums of MyDDO then link them here... ~Nim **lol...That's awesome...but too late, I ended up farming Tor anyways and got my Black Dragonscale Robe today...YAY! *Edit* Here's a link to my MyDDO page where I've started to plan Nimaeti's(my AA) next life. Link *Edit #2* After playing with the crafting planner, and looking at the Lama Release Notes, I started playing with other 12 Monk/8 Whatever builds. I cam up with one that I thought Samius would get a kick out of...The Thriller...I will be using this for my Monk's next life. Edited by Nim, Apr 18 2011, 02:02 PM.
